A tree 20 m high or less. Branches terete, brownish, the growing tips 

 thickened, ferruginous-pubescent, and with numerous petiolar Bears, the 



flowers and spikes crowded at the apices. Leaves chartaceous or subco- 

 riaceous, elliptic-ovate to elliptie-oboyate, 9 to 18 em long, 5 to L0 cm 

 wide, the base acute or acuminate, often slightly inequilateral, the apex 

 acuminate, the upper surface glabrous, or the midrib sometimes pubescent, 



brown when dry and slightly shining, the lower surface paler, usually 

 rather densely and softly ferruginous-pubescent, the pubescence persist-

 the midrib, distinct, obscurely anastomosing, the ultimate reticulations 

 fine, brown, distinct: petioles 1.5 to 1 cm long, usually with three or 

 four glands, these sometimes wanting. Spikes axillary, solitary, simple.
